Sony Playstation 5 Slim Digital Edition (1TB, 2023)

Not much smaller than the original PS5 Doesn't include a vertical stand All-digital version costs more than the original

Featuring a modular disc drive and more storage capacity, the 2023 model of the PlayStation 5 (aka the PS5 Slim) is just as excellent as the original.

Thinner, lighter build Modular design Excellent performance Robust game library

The PS5 Slim is thinner, lighter and more modular than its heftier predecessor. Though outwardly different, it retains the same fast performance and zippy load times we’ve come to expect. This is an overall great system for playing PS5 and PS4 games.
